The coordinated attack on D.E.I. is a vast right wing conspiracy

?? That makes no sense even on its face.

Or do you mean politically in terms of bad-faith right wingers inventing phantom menaces?

You got it. People got bored with CRT. Need a new boogeyman for the 2024 election.

It makes me wonder: Do Republicans keep a secret list of these acronym villains somewhere, so they all know who to move onto next? I imagine it’s kind of like the alphabetized list of hurricane names. Hurricane CRT followed by Hurricane DEI. I guess the next manufactured race-based hurricane is going to start with an E?

While damaging in the short term most DEI hires self destruct in a short period of time due to lack of competence.

They keep hiring and promoting based on identity, most often women, and it leads to completely inexperienced staff with gaping holes in backgrounds managing everything. Lol, they just promoted a woman with only 5 years experience right out of grad school to a director level position. Absolute joke when it usually requires 10-15+ years experience, most of which you've at least had multiple years of managing personnel at a middle management level first. Her resume is nothing astounding, yet she's fast tracked to upper manager level positions for God knows why. 100% DEI wokeism garbage at work.

A bunch of mid, unqualified and mediocre women get to benefit these days. It's also funny, because it is often white women too who get the reap the most benefit - they get their white privilege AND can leverage DEI wokeism in their favor by citing something something something about gender.

If what you say is true, the problem is with the application of DEI, not DEI itself.

The general allegation that unqualified people get elevated is generally unfounded and racist/sexist at its core, however. And, as the NYT proves, that is a core piece of disinformation.

I read the article. I don't see where you find the "core piece of disinformation". To me, it read like the actions and emails of a normal advocacy group. I guess I'm a true liberal. I believe they have the right to promote their view, and I didn't see anything in their emails that was illegal or even unethical, just to my opinion a narrow view that is not seeing the forest for the trees. People are allowed to organize, even for things you personally may not like.

What a great use of a company’s resources, money and time that I’m sure get passed on to us- the consumer.

Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?

Holy sh#t, these people are profoundly bigoted and racist. Especially Heather MacDonald, who ironically lives in Manhattan and seethes at the LGBTQ and POCs she sees on the street.

The actual emails they have of these conservative elites are atrocious.

D-E-I needs to D-I-E!

There is nothing equitable or inclusive about it. Diversity for diversity sake is an opportunity to virtue signal.

If companies hired based on merit and if colleges accepted applicants based on achievement, this country would be in a far better place.

Being a white man, I was depicted as the oppressor or perhaps a racist for my skin colour. I wondered how people of colour felt during the session as the oppressed. These were my colleagues and friends, and now there seemed to be a wall of division going up that did not previously exist.

I had to edit out the majority of that entitled butt-hurt prattle to just say what a shining example of white fragility. This guy fancies himself a good person — he very well may be — but has internalized too much and clearly cannot get passed the cognitive dissonance. He takes it sooooo personally and feels personally attacked instead of considering instead how people who HAVE been oppressed feel and look at things.

And yeah, Christianity is pretty much the evil. That’s not exactly in dispute.

Why won’t you explain why it’s not disputed that Christianity is evil? Christians are evil?

Is Judaism evil? Jews are evil?

Islam is evil? Muslims are evil?

Is all religion evil, or just Christianity?

What does DEI say about religion?

“Self destruct” due to “lack of competence” is a strange way of saying “got sabotaged and harassed back to where the aggressive colleagues felt they belong.”

I would argue there is nothing equitable about the status quo. Ask any hiring manager--they never hire based just on "merit." A lot more subjective factors go into hiring. If it were just merit, a computer program could pick applicants.

The college discussion is a whole other matter. In the rest of the world, colleges do accept applicants based simply on achievement--usually their scores on a national university entry exam or a series of scores on exams like A levels. The US does it differently.

Why do conservatives hate America and everything it stands for? Why are they so racist?

So many choice bigoted quotes from this article. I’ll start with a few.

Scott Yenor, of the Claremont Institute, on what their true goal is - the ability to discriminate against individuals based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation:

”The core of what we oppose is 'anti-discrimination.' That is too much of a sacred cow.”

Thomas Klingenstein, president of Claremont Institute, admits that they the point of their effort is to seek to indoctinate K-12 children with rightwing ideologies:

“In support of ridding schools of C.R.T., the Right argues that we want nonpolitical education. No we don’t. We want our politics. All education is political.”

Scott Yenor, again, on revisions his editor wanted to include in a new piece of writing but that Yenor found too strident for publication, though Yenor admits in the emails that he privately agrees with the language:

“Our sexual culture will not heal until ‘faggot’ replaces ‘bigot’ as the slur of choice,” or “Our sexual culture will not be healed until we once again agree that homosexuality belongs in the closet and that a healthy society requires patriarchy.”

Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute on recent gay marriage developments in India:

She speculated in the May exchange that it would be “fun to see” what liberals would say about Indians if the court conferred gay marriage rights but Indians refused to “go along.” “How will western elites explain the benightedness of yet another group of POCs?” In response, Dr. Yenor noted that “not tons of asian countries have SSM” but rather “more wholesome policies like prison” for gays.

David Azerrad, a professor at Hillsdale College, who often tries to appeal to liberals in his writings but really harbors very bigoted beliefs in private:

“Heather, that's an easy one. Indians are Asians who are white-adjacent so at the bottom of the totem poll. Gays are second after blacks.”

Heather MacDonald, sarcastically voicing her true feelings about Peter Theil and his gay lifestyle + the news story about the suicide of Thiel’s throuple boyfriend:

Some female over the last year or so, eager to show her openmindedness, was crowing to me about how wonderful Thiel's "husband" was, making them out to be the most proper couple.

I wonder if he will feel any shame in public. Probably not.

Professors Yenor and Azerrad making fun of the appearance of one of the students at Yenor’s university (Boise State):

On one occasion, he forwarded a Boise State email featuring a photo of a female computer science student with close-cropped hair and a plaid shirt. “Gynocracy update!” Dr. Yenor wrote.

Riffing on the woman’s masculine appearance, his friend Dr. Azerrad chimed in with a correction: “Androgynococracy update.”

Heather MacDonald, taking a walking on the Upper East Side and seething at the thought of working mothers and persons of color who enter her field of vision:

As I was taking my evening power walk in the hood here (upper east side) and seeing all the nannies of color walking school children back to their apartments, it struck me again the bizarreness of females deciding that their comparative advantage is in being an associate in a law firm, say, and thus that they should outsource the once in a lifetime unduplicable unrepeatable experience of raising a unique child to some one else, especially someone from the low IQ 3rd world, while they do the drone work of making partner. The child is evolving so quickly, absorbing so many influences, and yet they would rather absent themselves from its life to show that they are as good as males. such a distribution of labor is allegedly pareto optimal. Another curse of feminism.

yes, they have horrible beliefs. But "coordinated attack on dei is a vast right wing conspiracy" is just calling the normal political process names. They have a right to these beliefs. They have a right to organize. We have a right not to vote for them.

Well I guess that’s the insidious part. We don’t get a choice to vote for these people, yet they try to stealthily influence public discourse, actively want to indoctrinate children slyly, and try to hold power over public officials. They use social media to astroturf ideas and ideologies that their own research shows are unpopular, thereby disproportionately infecting the public debate. They also don’t have to reveal their donors, despite being clearly political actors who have partisan preferences.

They are fundamentally anti-democratic bigoted partisans pretending to be free-speech loving academics.
